Players costing city over 20m

[Original Dub]

Certain players are worth more to one team than another.

Cogs in the machine. You can't value that on the open market. Gareth Barry is worth as much to us now as he ever was.

Does that mean he's worth what we paid for him to someone else?

[Mase]

Look at Kolarav. He's turned out to be a bargain for what we paid for him.

[Green & Blue]

Just checked, it was 17.....still ridiculous

17 million for Garcia is not even funny makes it worse that we let De Jong slip for pocket change in comparison.A contract extension should have been negotiated it would have been a far cheaper option.

He didn't want to negotiate on a new contract though mate. And de Jong cost us the same amount when we bought him.

[Alex Sapphire]

fuck me we have wasted alot of money

All the players in that list are pretty good. We've wasted a lot more money on mid-range players and long-term contracts over the years.

True but how many in that list are worth more than 20m?

Dzeko -ok
Balo - no
Silva- ok
Tevez- ok
Sergio -ok
Nasri- no
Adebayor - no
Robinho - arguably
Milner - no
Joleen - no
Yaya - ok

and then as you say there's the likes of:
Jo - 19 but worth more like 3
NDJ - good player but didnt we spend outrageous cash?
RSC - 17ish worth 2-3
kolarov - worth about half of what we payed

For any other club thats catastrophic

Did we not just get £20m for Balo?

that's be an easier Quiz question:
players we've SOLD for more than 20 mill

Either way the Garcia fee was daylight robbery and De Jong may as well have walked for free, that still does not sit well with me and never will.

Garcia is a better footballer than De Jong, he's also versatile and his salary is a lot less. Loved Nige but it was a no brainer.

Exactly. I mean his value is totally dependent on so many factors it's ridiculous. In our team, he's priceless. He's worth as much as Aguero or Kompany. But noone would ever pay what we paid for Aguero to get Barry. It's logic and illogic at the same time.

Most of those players u can sell for 20 and more ,and from that list more then half bring that what is waited so long , so i dont think Bob waste money but Huges did and this last window was total shite , Garcia 17 on base of what if De jong was 6.

De Jong cost us £18million with just 6 months left on his contract at Hamburg.

Good god that's outrageous. Was it the same time as Lescott deal which stole all the headlines for the wrong reasons?

[Alioune DVToure]

De Jong cost us £18million with just 6 months left on his contract at Hamburg.

I'm pretty sure he had 18 months remaining, but I'm prepared for someone to prove me wrong.

[Chinners]

Danny Mills and Nigel Clough probably cost over £20mil .... in wages

[Mase]

I'm pretty sure he had 18 months remaining, but I'm prepared for someone to prove me wrong.

He had 18 months, however he would have been able to leave for next to nothing in the summer had we not signed him in January.

Sorry i m still cant argue that Garcia is so much better player then De jong , he had couple good games i hope he will continue to rise but for now not big difrence , only that Garcia is better in air ut De jong was twice us fast and stronger on chalenge

Dzeko -ok/
Balo - no/ 19 mil if we could take 19 for players with such big problems score only one goal and well we all know wild card
Silva- ok /sure over 30
Tevez- ok / 17-20 at list but i think more
Sergio -ok/ 30 and even more in right time when hes on form
Nasri- no here is a loss i can put even imaginary price
Adebayor - no /job done
Robinho - arguably /job done
Milner - no /here is player who is worth more then we ever could take for him so i will never sold him
Joleen - no /10 15 maybe bench drop hes price
Yaya - ok /easy over 25 now that could be any price it depends who wants him like all players
Ok let see what we think how many money we can take for these players if we try to sold them now
That is what i think not big loss in those players still in club and they have more years to play bring FA and BPL champs, just need some better in CL and only challengers of rags even in not so good form.
